Thanks for the start to answers.

I will have to look through the forums.

I know that but what command do I run in the first place?
How do I pause or stop after transmitting a WU?
I just ran the installer after I downloaded it.

There is good info at:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/participate.php

I would gladdly help on a FAQ as we are running S@H and looking at boinc on our work computers and one cluster.

I've just got one example running on this machine (linux cli). Far too easy! (:-))

Once I've had a play to see how it behaves, I'll post brief notes for anyone interested. (Unless someone beats me to it (;-))

It is new but I thought there would be more info from the beta testing.

Now I will have to go through the forums closer.

Good luck,
Martin

ps: Straight in on the first attempt:
